[QUOTE="David Howery, post: 1744563, member: 17239"] One of my old groups had us all trade around the DM duties. One of them ran an adventure something along these lines. IIRC, the adventure had our characters moved to our world and meeting ourselves the players. So, each player was playing their PC, stats and all, and themselves (no stats really, just as advisors and the like to the party). I think our PCs were running around the town we lived in (a little college town in MT) and hunt down the evil wizard who sent them to our world, kill him, and take his magical whatzit to get back to their own world. The guy was hiding out as a local. Of course, I suggested that the wizard was actually my boss at the time, but couldn't convince the others :) Anyway, after running around investigating and sinking a semi-truck into the ground with some kind of quicksand spell, the PCs finally found the guy, killed him, and got the magical whatzit, and returned to their own world. Naturally, seeking every advantage like always, me, playing myself, gave my PC my 20-gage shotgun and a big box of shells for it. But the DM, curse him, ruled that it wouldn't work in the magical world. Darn. [/QUOTE]
